Document Summary
Ok = answer close but not quite right = 1 of 6: average = 69% (4. 1/6). 2 were perfect: test 1 will be returned tuesday or wednesday. The axon conveys the information to the next neuron. Again, i"ll try to point to more critical info: {repeat} readings for tuesday (today). If you know and remember the ionic basis of postsynaptic potentials, you can start on page 119, where i will start lecturing. _ the neuron : what is the main function of this structure? (a) communication (b) integration (c) info processing (d) living (e) not sure. Info processing: why is neuronal integration more important than axonal conduction, cooler b) more functional c) faster d) slower e) not sure. _ more functional relevant to information processing. So, it has more relevance to behaviour : in what form does a neuron receive information (inputs)? a) epsps & ipsps (b) excitatory and inhibitory (c) action potentials (d) graded potentials ( e) not sure.
